Panasonic S5 II

Pros: Finally on the S series a high-performance and reliable autofcus, excellent file quality, super video. Value for money of the system (using Sigma lenses) unattainable by other brands

Cons: The problem of per-flash latency also persists on this version. Unfortunately, the star filter (present on the first series) is missing

Opinion: The S2 significantly outclasses the previous model in every aspect, the autofcus is finally adequate, the quality of the file, already satisfactory, has now increased noticeably, the photos are perfect and do not require post-production. The videos are a lot of stuff (I'm not here to describe the improvements already widely documented). The pairing with the sigma 24-70 II is fantastic. Unfortunately, with the TTL mode, there is still the problem of the delay between the pre-flash and the flash (I only use the manual mode)

Panasonic S5

Pros: File quality, dynamic range, versatility and ergonomics.

Cons: AF not always reliable, but nothing dramatic, more limiting the impossibility of deactivating the flash pre-flash.

Opinion: I state that I find the camera excellent in everything, both photo and video side, the only important limit is the inability to disable pre-flash flash, this involves the loss of fractions of a second that sometimes make you lose the moment as well as affecting charging times, the only solution I found is to use the flash in manual mode, losing the convenience of TTL mode.
